If you live in the greater Phoenix area you probably got to experience quite the dust storm, or as those weather educated meteorologists called it, a haboob (try not to giggle too much). While you watched it create a mess out of your yard and car we doubt you were thinking about how it connected to Arizona sports. That’s what we’re here for.
While we watched the massive cloud of dust blow through the Valley we wondered who in Arizona sports history was like the storm (loud, full of hot air and only around for a brief time). While we pondered the question it came to us, we had to put together the Top 5 Biggest Blowhards In Arizona Sports History.
So without further adieu, here’s our list.
No. 5 Mike Stoops
Have you ever watched the guy on the sideline of an Arizona football game? He kicks up more dust and throws more tantrums than a four year old. If that doesn’t qualify you as a blowhard, it’s tough to imagine what would.
No. 4 Eric Byrnes
Was there a player who created a bigger stir for absolutely no good reason? He liked to talk a big game and even was given his own TV show without really producing. Plus, when you’re comparing people in Arizona sports to a giant cloud of dust, how do you not include a guy nicknamed Pig Pen?
No. 3 Denny Green
This is all you need to know.
No. 2 Shaquille O’Neal
